| Abstract | MRI inter-slice gap is required during the image acquisition process in order to prevent leakage protons which cause blurred images. The gap is one of the major obstacles in image analysis, particularly in various modern computer aided diagnosis applications because the data in those inter-slice gaps disappear. In this paper, an inter-slice interpolation algorithm based on the projection on convex curve set (POCS) is proposed to reconstruct MRI voxels and fill inter-slice gaps by using joint information provided by different MRI viewing planes including axial, coronal and sagittal planes. Difference of pixel spacing of these sequences has been transformed and matched to the reference frame. Pixels from different planes are then located together in a unit voxel space matrix. They are then interpolated to create gapless MRI data. The proposed algorithm has been tested with five MRI datasets of bone tumor. The interpolated results are then compared with that of frequently used interpolation techniques including nearest neighbor, linear, and cubic interpolation. Interpolation results from these algorithms have been measured in terms of signal to noise ratio which represents image similarity to the original one. The comparison results showed that the proposed algorithm is superior to the others in which average similarity between the interpolated images and the original MRI images is highest. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
